Members of our high school choir performed at Regional Music Solo Festival on Saturday for the opportunity to advance to State competition on April 27th at Ell-Saline High School in Gypsum.

All performers are judged by collegiate music professors using a rubric to determine their rating. Ratings range from I - V. Kathryn Rounds received a I rating and will advance to the state contest, Cye Scott received a II rating, and Ethan Graham and Koby White each received a III rating. The musicians received great comments from the judges on their performances.

All students performed very well and represented themselves and Erie High School with true class. Well done!

Man! What a great day in the USD 101 Music Dept! The rehearsals for all of our groups today were just outstanding - we got so much done! I would have loved to have gotten some pictures or video, we just didn't stop long enough for me to get any. I did get one picture however... A couple of the high school flutists decided to create Superflute! 🤣 Never a dull moment in the USD 101 Music Dept!
